We love tackling landscape jobs on new home builds. Starting with that blank slate allows us the opportunity to give the client their vision. This back yard project was on a modern home that wanted clean simple lines to coordinate with the house’s design aesthetic.

In this bed we planted a Rising Sun Red Bud tree to the far left that will grow to be about 12-15 feet in height. Centered is a tall planter that’s filled with Hibiscus for height, anchored by red Geraniums and filled in with Million Bell flowers and hanging Ivy. The ground covering we used a Lemon Sedum plant, and behind those are Carissa Holly shrubs.

In this picture, the tree that hides the gray wall box is a Sunshine Ligustrum.

In this particularly project we were excited to bring in a favorite vendor that we love working alongside. Jeff Kern Designs installs artificial turf as an alternative to grass which carried out the modernity for this home even further.

On the other side of their yard we built a similar bed and added in Magnolia trees that will grow in height to create a screen from their neighbor’s yard. We continued over with Lemon Sedum, Carissa Holly shrubs, geraniums and Sunshine Ligustrum.

For added decoration we filtered boulders within the bed.

These cheery yellow flowers sprinkled in are Gaillardia, a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family. This perennial has a long season of bloom, and is used as a blanket flower. The daisy-like flowers are produced from early summer to early fall in shades of orange, red and yellow, adding sizzle to the garden and attracting nectar-seeking butterflies.

This week we are featuring another gorgeous home that truly understands the impact of curb appeal. From the moment you pull up to this stunning entry you are greeted with beautiful color, perfectly manicured bushes and an array of trees that really round out the overall landscape. A truly great landscape is one that spans the entire property’s perimeter, uses symmetrically and keeps the eye engaged on every sight level. Enjoy scrolling through all of the images, most of the plants have been identified, but if you have any questions about any items seen give us a call or email, or come over to our Facebook page and leave a message or post.

Starting with the orange zinnia flowers you’ve already been greeted by a cheerful and bright seasonal flower. As you continue to walk you brush by the well trimmed Shrubs, “Carissa Holly.” If you are a resident in the DFW metroplex you know the beauty that comes with a Crepe Myrtle tree, and soon those trees will be filled with color and brighten up the yard even more.

This gorgeous entryway continues with Carissa holly bushes, stepping down are the salvia (sage) bright purple hues. The tree to the left of the door is a dogwood, and to the right is a Yaupon Holly tree, then on the far right is a Savannah Holly tree. The planter containers have a simple booster ferns inside.

The far left of the property line carries some of the same plants and colors. The yucca grass to the far left, Salvia sage again, boxwood bushes and Wisteria hanging from the arbor.

This lovely little bed features the same Purple salvia (sage), as well as a white flower, the shasta daisy.

Spring is one of our favorite seasons, the warm weather gets everyone motivated to clean out their flower beds and spruce up their yards in preparation for months of being outdoors. One of our clients loves spring just as much as us because it is the season his perennials bloom in full display and create a gorgeous backdrop for plenty of outdoor fun. This yard is covered in colorful dianthus, which we planted a few years ago, and on cue comes back better and better every year. The vibrant pinks and purples not only are a stunning display, but when our typical Texas spring brings the wind they seem to dance around instead of being tossed about. What we love about this yard is the layering. We’ve been able to layer every aspect of this yard, both front and back, with symmetrical plants, shrubs and color. Some of the stand outs are the pink azaleas scattered throughout as well as the vibrant yellow Lemon Ligustrum and the annual pansies in the planters for extra pops of color. We will let this home speak for itself, enjoy the photos and if you are interested in hiring us for your landscape design please give us a call or fill out the contact form to the right.

Moving right along sharing more from one of our favorite landscape installations properties, we shared with you the front yard of this stunning Fort Worth home a couple of weeks ago, and now it’s time to highlight their backyard as well. First of all, can you say garden with a view! If I lived here you bet you’d find me sitting in that glider staring out at the water taking in my surroundings. For a space like this, which is long and a little narrow, it was super important to create varying heights and landscape levels to maximum the space.

Dwarf mondo keeps a nice clean border along the house and in the raised beds. It’s an evergreen you rarely have to trim and it keeps soil from washing onto your hardscape. Then we also have a spiral boxwood centerpiece to add, which is very low maintenance.For an added bit of color we also planted caladiums and some periwinkle annuals that will stay until the first frost.

At the very end of the raised bed, we planted azalea bushes, which produce a beautiful pink flower multiple times throughout the year.

One more bed at the edge of the property completes the look and creates a clear dividing line between their house and their neighbors’.

This fountain water feature adds an artist element to the grass accent bed. We sell a variety of these fountains in the garden shop.

You know we love a good hibiscus, especially in pots, and they look great next to the seated glider that overlooks the lake.

Did you know we do hardscape as well as landscaping? Here we built a travertine patio to extend their patio, providing a more elegant walkway and more space for another seating and dining area.

Here you can also see the stone retaining wall we built with a leuders cap on top. We then built stairs leading up to their patio to give the space multi levels. Prior to our design, the home had a Dorr flagstone that wasn’t a great quality for the stature of the home.

We also brought in the Plant hanger to the far left, a spagnjm moss succulent planter (also sold in the nursery). These ready container garden holds moisture in way better than the standard plastic bucket hangers. For a fun and colorful added touch, the pink flamingo (also from our home decor shop) really adds a pop.

And what patio would be complete without carrying the plant life up to the seating area in an array of pots and planters.

We love putting spiral boxwoods in potters to create height and a focal point that’s very low maintenance.

You know how we feel about live edge furniture! If you haven’t seen this post, or checked out the many designs we have at the nursery you are missing out. This coffee table came from our decor shop and really fits beautifully with the modern rustic space. We have a couple more of these at the shop, just waiting to complete your space.

And we can never forget the side of the house, that leads from the front to the back. With those areas being so stunning, the walk into the backyard has to be just as beautiful so it all flows. To the left, Tree Form Savannah’s soften up the wall without covering up the stone work, which is such a beautiful detail to the home. To the right, an Evergreen screen creates a privacy wall and blocks the view of the neighbor’s house without takkng up space in the yard.

a

And what home wouldn’t love to have a garden greenhouse of their own. We added the finishing touches to this shed by using reclaimed wood to give it unique detailing. The evergreens to each side frame the house and really show that every inch of this yard has been carefully thought out.

If you loved last week’s blog post about this home’s front yard landscaping remodel, then you’ll love the continuation with images from their back yard as well. The property sits up high overlooking a green belt so their backyard view was already a great one, but they wanted to take it to the next level with stunning pool landscaping and a small green space area to create their own backyard oasis. With plenty of seating scattered throughout and lush greens at all heights this back yard quickly became one of our favorites. We envision leisurely days spent out there enjoying a glass of wine and relaxing!

The main bed that lines the pool is made up of pom pom junipers, liriope plants, zinnias, and esperanza. The tall pots that sit on either side of the built in bed are filled with hibiscus for height, periwinkle and dianthus for color, and sweet potato ivy as the spillers hanging down creating that billowy look.

And you know no back yard landscaping is complete without bringing the plants up to the sitting area as well! The pots that sit on the stairs are filled with hibiscus and sweet potato ivy as well for that cohesive look to mirror the pots on either side of the pool bed. Now, no matter where you choose to sit, your views are always filled with flowers and happiness.

We never miss an opportunity to continue the lush plant life, so this garden path that leads to their front yard was no exception. With a small flag stone walkway leading the way, we lined it with some simple gold tipped yews and birkwood holly plants. The tall tree to the right is a Japanese Maple, and the smaller tree to the left in the raised bed is an Althea tree. At the base of the Althea tree are beautiful orange new guinea impatiens.

Since the pool and patio take up the majority of their back yard we wanted them to still have some green space that was easy to maintain. We installed synthetic turf so it extended the lush greens without the upkeep of having to mow, and it will look gorgeous and healthy year round. We filled the raised beds that surround this space with a combination of twist of lime abelian, azaleas, and orange new guinea impatiens.

We are sharing another awesome client landscape remodel today! I wish we had some more “before” shots to show you, because this one needed a lot of work, but you can get the idea from the one we do have. When we pulled up to this gorgeous home, (in an amazing neighborhood) we couldn’t believe this is how bare the landscaping was. The owners had just purchased the home, and for as stunning as the home was, it needed a landscape that matched it. What it did have going for it, was the blank slate it provided, with little issues standing in our way of making it stand out.

First, although it was an interesting design choice, we felt a straightforward walkway was a better option with the lines and symmetry of the home. The owners also decided to add an iron gate to create a small porch area where they could put a table and chairs while still having a little bit of privacy behind the planters.

We also added a set of window boxes to the upper balconies, to draw your eye up and extend the eye line of the greenery. They can replace these annuals with each new season. Right now they have Esperanza in them.

These sunshine ligustrum add a fun pop to break up the basic greens, and the oak leaf holly add height to provide variation to the bed.

These two pots sit at each side of the porch, creating a show stopping piece that can be filled each season with beautiful annuals. We like to create a couple of spaces in most of our landscape installs where this is possible, so you can update the colors each season, and always have something blooming year round. This particular combination has hibiscus as the height, vincas, scaevola, and periwinkle mixed throughout.

We have another annual bed at the curb, as the entrance to the walkway, where we can plant coordinating color that will mirror what’s in the potters. It’s a great way to tie all of the color together for a cohesive look. This plant grouping is made up of periwinkle, ixora plant, kaleidoscope abelia, pentas. Finally, lining the walkway is a layer of liriope plant on both sides.

We like to utilize the entire property when we are landscaping both the front and back yards, but more so in the front, so you create a giant frame for your home, showcasing it’s size and utilizing all your landscape has to offer. Here we’ve created a bed that creates a full border from the neighbor’s and also hides an unsightly power box. We used a Japanese maple tree, a holly tree, an althea tree. The lower ground bushes are azaleas, and finally edged with liriope plants and a small pop of annuals for color.

We extended the bordering beds all the way to the garage and fence leading you to the back yard, as well as flanking the garage door with potters selling with sweet potato vines and hibiscus. We topped off the right bed with holly trees and more sunshine ligustrum.

We have to brag on one of our favorite clients’ yards! I know we say this about a lot of our clients (maybe because we are blessed to work with so many wonderful people), but this is truly one of our favorites. When we took over this front yard it was a blank canvas. There were a few flower beds present, but none that showcased how spectacular this lot is. So we removed everything that was existing and started over from scratch.

We wanted each bed to be it’s own spotlight of beauty and visual delight. We used varying heights, color and textures to draw the eye to every area of the yard. From the moment you walk up the path you are greeted with cheerful pink hibiscus covering the ground. The beds are flanked with two show stopping pots filled with pom pom juniper trees, purple scaevola, and pink and white vincas. Layered behind the hibiscus are liriope ground covering.

As you move towards the entry gate, we used more layers, starting with liriope ground covering, mixed in colorful pentas, and flanked with two boxwood trees.

Moving to the left of the main gate is the far left bed. The flowering althea tree is surrounded by encor azalea bushes (which will be filled with color in spring and fall), boxwood bushes behind them (closest to the house), a layer of sedum in front of the azaleas, and finished with the liriope ground covering lining the front.

In the far left front bed closest to the street, we added a few pink and purple angelonia next to the azaleas and liriope, for added color.

Moving on to the right side of the yard, we started the half curve bed with layers of jasmine, impatiens, caladiums, pentas and a gorgeous magenta crepe myrtle tree. The variations of pinks, whites and purples throughout the yard really bring all of these beds together nicely.

And no space left undone, we planted a Japanese maple in the back corner where the tall boxwoods and oak trees provide privacy for the yard. These maples will burst with color two times a year and add a splash of color to this spot. All in all, we are so pleased with this front, bursting with major curb appeal. Most importantly we are so happy when our clients trust our vision for their yards, the outcome is truly one they will love for years!

If you follow us on Facebook, Instagram, or happen to know our Vice President, Brian Ruibal, you know we are supporters of the local charity Stepping Stones Foundation. They are a non-profit organization that focuses on “at-risk” and homeless children in the community, getting them help and encouraging each child to take steps toward a better future. Over the past couple of weeks they were helping a particular family in need and it was a beautiful thing to see how volunteers and businesses sprung into action to make them a home. A group of 5 sweet children weren’t being cared for properly and were living out of a storage unit. When the kids were removed from that environment they went under the care of an aunt who didn’t have the space large enough for them all. There was a distant relative who had a home they could pass on, but it hadn’t been looked after for quite some time and wasn’t in a livable condition. It was at that time they put out the bat signal asking or anyone who could donate time, labor, materials, furniture, you name it. They needed enough donations to renovate the home, and equally important, the volunteers to do the renovations. We saw the community step up in a HUGE way. We at Landscape Systems did what we know best and that’s landscaping. We had our crews clearing out the brush, leaves, dead plant life and brought in some new bushes and flowers to spruce up the outside. We had so many wonderful volunteers helping us along the way and were so grateful to everyone who supported our efforts. When we finished the outside we moved inside with the rest of the volunteers!

So many other local businesses stepped in to offer their services inside the home, from heating and cooling, and electrical work to new floors, sheet rock, dry wall, fence repair, painting, custom furniture, sinks, toilets, fixtures, lights, decor, meals for the family and so much more! The list goes on, including support from Keller Lion’s Club, The Keller Chamber, BNSF, Young Men Service League, Young Life Keller, Colleyville NTA Taekwondo, Garabedian Properties, The Floor Store Keller, Berkey’s Southlake, Horizon Forest, All About Paint and More, BNSF, Lowe’s Southlake and Keller, Sherwin Williams Roanoke and Keller, Proscapes, Cooper Overhead Door Service, Pioneer Animal Hospital, American Transmission, Ace Store and Repair, Ironwood Fencing, Office Equity Solutions, Sweet Memories Cakes and Catering, Marco’s Pizza, DeVivo Brothers, and Jersey Mike’s Keller!

It was truly an amazing transformation!!! The unveiling to the family was so wonderful, you can see in their sweet faces how truly special this moment was.
